Option to show unpublished node + display Content type for each node

Hi everybody,

First of all, thanks a lot for this very useful module. It simplified the lives of content editors so much.

However for now most of our content is still unpublished because we want to be sure every page is ready before publishing it and replacing our old pages by new ones. It would be cool to have an option to allow Linkit to show unpublished content as well.
I did it manually by editing the linkit_node.module file, changing this line:
$result = db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT n.title, n.nid FROM {node} n WHERE LOWER(n.title) LIKE LOWER('%%%s%%') AND n.status = 1"), $string, 0, 10);

I removed the AND n.status = 1 part.

Another good feature, unrelated but a small feature also, would be to show the Content type next to the node result. Right now we see something like "Title [type:Node]", it would be cool to have something like "Title [type:Node:News Story]" or maybe another way to display it, but having this information would certainly help picking the right node.

Could this be done easily?

Thanks a lot.
